Systems, devices, and methods for acoustic-signal based respiratory device use assessment
Patent published on the 2026-10-01 in WO under Ref WO2026207318 by AIROTONE INC [US] (O'keeffe Gregory [us], Smith Anthony [us], Dutton Brian [us], Myers Timothy [us])
Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for assessing respiratory device usage and breathing patterns using acoustic signal processing and machine learning may utilize signals, measurements, and/or recordings provided by a sensor system in communication (e.g., physical, sonic, etc.) with a subject and/or a respiratory device used by the subject. Audio signals captured by the sensor system may be analyzed and characterized based on audio signatures to identify event types such as shaking, priming, actuatio[...]
Our summary: The system assesses respiratory device usage and breathing patterns through acoustic signal processing. It analyzes audio signals to identify specific breathing events and evaluate proper usage techniques. Feedback is provided to users and healthcare providers for improvement recommendations.

Patent published on the 2026-09-23 in GB under Ref GB2704885 by OMACHRON INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INC [CA] (Wayne Ernest Conrad [ca])
Abstract: An HVAC system (1000, Fig. 10) comprises a fan coil 100 with an air inlet port 112 through which input air enters and an exhaust air outlet port 220 through which exhaust air exits. An oxygen concentrator 200 receives a bleed stream of the exhaust air and is operable in an oxygen enrichment mode to transfer oxygen from the exhaust air and deliver the oxygen to the input air. The oxygen concentrator may be a pressure swing adsorption oxygen concentrator. The oxygen concentrator may adsorb nitroge[...]
Our summary: An HVAC system includes a fan coil with air inlet and exhaust ports. An oxygen concentrator enriches input air by extracting oxygen from exhaust air. The system operates based on oxygen level detection by a sensor.

Biphasic acclimation for simultaneous wide-field fluorescent Ca 2+ imaging and fMRI of awake mice
Published on 2026-09-10 by @MIT
Abstract: AbstractFunctional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can be applied in mice and humans, making it a key technology in translational neuroimaging research. Yet, most fMRI studies in rodents use anesthesia to limit subject motion and stress. This puts a hard boundary on the range of brain and behavioral states that can be studied in animals, and deviates from the near-universal practice of imaging people while awake. Recent years have seen a push toward the development of acclimation protocols for[...]
Our summary: This study presents a biphasic acclimation protocol for simultaneous wide-field fluorescence calcium imaging and fMRI in awake mice. It addresses limitations of anesthesia in fMRI studies by enabling the collection of multimodal data. The findings reveal distinct patterns of brain function between awake and anesthetized states.

Construction of human bronchial trees from computed tomography scans through machine learning and stochastic growth algorithms
Published on 2026-05-21 by @OXFORD
Abstract: AbstractDigital twins of human lungs are of great value for healthcare, pharmaceutical, and bio-engineering communities. They can be used to study ventilation and gas mixing problems informing and improving the design of assisted ventilation devices. They can also provide an estimate of the occupational exposure to toxic or pathogenic aerosols. Furthermore, they can be employed to optimize therapeutic aerosols and their delivery through inhalers or nebulizers. Fundamental for all these applicati[...]
Our summary: This study presents a method for constructing human bronchial trees using machine learning and stochastic growth algorithms from CT scans. It focuses on generating accurate 3D models of the bronchial tree and lung lobe volumes.
